I did not test the following, but I guess it should work.

I would actually not make a new installation. I will assume the host is running some king of unix (as in not Windows).

On your old host
1) Dump your database, as you did :)
2) Go to the root of your old Piwigo install and run

Code:

tar -cvf my_old_piwigo.tar .

This archives your old install.
3) Copy the file my_old_piwigo.tar to your new host.

Code:

scp my_old_piwigo.tar user@new_host.com:~/

On your new host
4) Import your database dump into your new database at the new host.
5) Create a new directory for your install and move the tar-file in it.

Code:

mkdir public_html/new_piwigo; mv my_old_piwigo.tar !$

6) Extract the archive and move it away.

Code:

tar -xvf my_old_piwigo.tar; mv !$ ~

7) Edit the configuration file to edit any settings that might have changed (database name, passwords, etc...)

I hope this works for you!

I emphasize again: I did not test this approach.

Hmm, you are right!
My approach is not correct in that it does not update the configuration.
I will append that to my other post.

Congrats that it is working now!
